We don’t know about you, but here at REVStaffing our virtual assistants occasionally have some difficulty keeping up with all of the user names and passwords for their many social networking accounts. Some passwords require a capitalized letter and a number. Some just require a number. It’s exhausting! This is a great reason for linking all of your social networking accounts together. Linking means that one post will be seen across all of your networks, without you having to log into more than one account.
Let’s start with Twitter, which has been a major player on the social networking scene for quite some time. For those of you that don’t understand the point or the power of Twitter, let us briefly explain. Tweets are treated like tags by Google search crawlers. This means that what you tweet will show up in Google search engines, thus improving you SEO (search engine optimization). For this reason, it’s important to start your tweets with keywords and buzz phrases. And of course, always include a link to your website or blog.
We’ve included a step by step guide to help you link your Twitter account so that your tweets appear on the three most popular social networking sites: Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+.
-
Visit apps.facebook.com/twitter. This will prompt you to log into your Twitter account.
-
Upon logging in, click the link that allows Twitter to post your tweets to Facebook.
-
You may then be prompted to sign into Facebook to complete the process.
-
Log in and click the small arrow next to your name in the upper right corner.
-
Click settings
-
At the bottom on the screen, you will see a box connected to a “profile” tab. In this box, below the word “settings,” click “manage your twitter settings.”
-
Add your twitter account, customize the settings to your liking, and save changes.
Google+
-
Log in and click Account Overview
-
Click the link that says “connecting accounts”
-
Check the appropriate box, next to the account you want connected, that says “show on my public Google profile.”
-
Follow final prompts to verify your Twitter account.
It’s as easy as that! Now your tweets will appear on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+, saving you both time and energy.
